Timo Walther commented on FLINK-18378:
--------------------------------------
In my opinion, this issues is related to FLINK-17793 so we might fix both in
one design. However, we can temporarily fix this issue first.
> CatalogManager checks for CatalogTableImpl instead of CatalogTable

> Key: FLINK-18378
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18378
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Table SQL / Planner
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.11.0
>
>
> The {{CatalogManager}} checks for {{CatalogTableImpl}} instead of
> {{CatalogTable}} to decide whether to resolve the table schema. See
> https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/release-1.11/flink-table/flink-table-api-java/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/table/catalog/CatalogManager.java#L369
> Resolving the table schema adjusts the type of fields which are referenced by
> watermarks, i.e., changes their type from {{TIMESTAMP(3)}} to {{TIMESTAMP(3)
> ROWTIME}}. If table schema is not properly resolved some queries involving
> time attributes will fail during type validation.
> However, {{CatalogTableImpl}} is an internal implementation of the public
> {{CatalogTable}} interface. Hence, external {{Catalog}} implementations will
> not work with {{CatalogTableImpl}} but rather {{CatalogTable}} and hence
> might fail to work correctly with queries that involve event-time attributes.
